NHTSA complaint #11664399 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
While driving in extreme rain downfall at night my windshield wipers stopped functioning. I could not see the road. Luckily I had just exited the highway when this happened. Therefore I was able to move over to the side of the road turn on my hazards and wait an hour for the rain to settle before driving to a near by gas station. Otherwise a fatality would have been likely being on a busy interstate should the wipers failed to function then. That wipers do not work and the Hummer can not be driven when rain is expected. I heard a recall had been issued for wiper malfunction. However when pulling up any recalls from my vin nothing shows but I have seen recalls for this situation and for the same make model and year. Please advise. I have given the vehicle to my 16 year old son a soon to be new driver and is excited to start but I must get this safety isssue taken care of first.

NHTSA complaint #11316038 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ONE EVENING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON A LOCAL ROAD HEADED HOME MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH OFCOURSE WERE IN OPERATION SUDDENLY STOPPED STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION I IMMEDIATELY HEARD A SOMEWHAT LOUD HUMMING NOISE SOUNDING AS IF IT WERE COMING FROM INSIDE THE UPPER DASHBOARD I COULDN'T SEE TO DRIVE AS I NATURALLY RESPONDED TO THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPING AND IN THE UPWARD POSITION MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO SEE WHILE DRIVING, I QUICKLY TURNED THE KNOB ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH OPERATES THE WIPERS SPEED AND ON & OFF FUNCTION IN HOPES IT WOULD BRING THE WIPERS DOWN TO THE RESTING POSITION ESPECIALLY IF TURNED OFF HOWEVER EVEN THOUGH I TURNED THE KNOB TO THE OFF POSITION THE WIPERS REMAINED FROZEN IN THE SAME UPWARD STATE AS WHEN NO LONGER WIPING BUT THE HUMMING NOISE STOPPED. I QUICKLY PULLED OFF THE ROAD TURNING THE WIPERS ON AGAIN I COULD HERE THE HUMMING NOISE BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL FAILED TO MOVE. WHEN I TURN THE WIPERS OFF AGAIN NO NOISE COULD BE HEARD AND YET STILL NOT MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MOVING THE WIPERS WHICH STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN THE UP ON WINDSHIELD POSITION. AFTER TOGGLING AROUND WITH THE ON AND OFF KNOB AND THE NOISE COMING ON AND OFF IN SEQUENCE WITH BUT NOT THE WIPERS I CONCLUDED THAT THE MOTOR WAS THE NOISE I WAS HEARING ESTABLISHING IT STILL WORKS HOWEVER NOT MOVING THE WIPERS IT IS INTENDED FOR. A WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OR WHATEVER OPERATING MECHANISM BUT NO FUNCTIONAL WIPERS. THEREFORE I CAN NOT SEE ANYTIME DRIVING AND ALONG COMES THE RAIN FOR IT QUICKLY IMPAIRS THE VISIBILITY TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD TO SEE THE ROAD OR TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU MAKING EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PUTTING OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK ESPECIALLY IF ON THE HIGHWAY DOING FAST SPEEDS AND/ OR A PLACE WHERE IT IS NOT EASY TO PULL OVER SUDDENLY MAKES VERY STRESSFUL AND INCONVENIENT

THE RIGHT ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE LEAKS WATER INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. WATER RUNS DOWN THE WINDOW TO THE DASH BOARD GOES BEYOND THE DASH DOWN THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND IN THE GLOVE BOX THRU THE GLOVE BOX AND DRIPS ONTO THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAUSING THE PART TO BREAK, THUS CAUSING THE DASH BOARD AND ALL THE COMPONENTS TO OVER HEAT BECAUSE THE FAN DOES NOT WORK TO COOL THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARDS ASSOCIATED WITH. ALL THE DASH BOARD FEATURES. PLUS THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WORK EITHER AS A RESULT OF THE LEAK. MOLD AND MILDEW ALL THROUGHOUT THE CAR UNDER THE DASH AND THE SMELL IS AWFUL.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, WHILE IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN. NO ACCIDENT, BUT THE 2003 H2 DOES HAVE A RECALL ON THE WIPERS FOR THIS EXACT REASON. I HAD TO PUT OUT OVER 700 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VIN NUMBER REVIEWED AS TO WHY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS WHAT HAPPENED IS WHAT THEY DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO BE. I DO HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE REPAIR.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE 5YRS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING A RAIN STORM IN FLORIDA. WE HAVE REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE. THIS TIME BEING THE SHORTEST SPAN OF ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE IT GETS DAMP AND MALFUNCTIONS. WIPERS EITHER WORK INTERMITTENT OR NOT AT ALL AND THIS HAMPERS VISIBILITY AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT GM HAD A RECALL FOR 2003 BUT NOT FOR OTHER YEARS. I ALSO AM A MEMBER OF THE HUMMER FORUM AND CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS COMMON AMONGST ALL YEARS.

DRIVING HOME I BEGAN TO SMELL AND ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. IT BEGAN VERY QUICKLY AND CAME AND WENT FOR ABOUT 2 MILES. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AND COULD NOT SEE SMOKE OR FIRE SO I CONTINUED HOME. I DROVE THE REMAINING 4 MILES TO MY HOME AND IMMEDIATELY GOT MY HUSBAND TO CHECK AS THE CAB HAD FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. HE LOCATED THE AREA THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST AND THEN WATCHED AS SMOKE CAME OUT. HE UNBOLTED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TANK AND THE MOTOR ON BOTTOM HAD ACTUALLY BURNED, MELTED AND WAS ON THE VERGE OF CAUSING SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. THE WIPERS WERE NOT BEING USED AND HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER FOR THE FLUID.
